California
Bill Would End Electricity Deregulation
from Morning Edition, Tuesday , May 20, 2003
A California state Senate committee considers a bill that would
remove competition from the state's retail electricity market.

Voter-approved
Initiatives
(Phoenix, AZ)
On Wed 5/14/03 on Here & Now Lobbyists Sandy Bahr of the Sierra
Club and Stephen Slivinski of the Goldwater Institute talk about
the effects of voter-approved initiatives on state spending. In
recent years, voters have passed propositions enacting a 6-tenths
percent sales tax to fund teacher pay hikes, directed a tobacco
tax increase to pay for expanded health care and passed a medical
marijuana law, among others.
